The authors hypothesized that pancreaticogastrostomy is safer than pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy and less likely to be associated with a postoperative pancreatic fistula.Pancreatic fistula leading cause of morbidity mortality pancreaticoduodenectomy, occurring in 10% 20% patients. Nonrandomized reports have suggested complications.Between May 1993 January 1995, the findings for 145 patients were analyzed this prospective trial at Johns Hopkins Hospital. After giving...
Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the accuracy of precontrast attenuation, relative percentage washout (RPW), and absolute (APW) in distinguishing benign from malignant adrenal masses at multi–detector row computed tomography (CT). Materials Methods: This HIPAA-compliant retrospective study had institutional review board approval; need for informed consent was waived. One hundred twenty-two were evaluated 99 patients (51 men, 48 women; age range, 37–86 years) who undergone CT performed...

Complex indeterminate renal cystic masses (Bosniak type III) can have benign and malignant causes been traditionally considered surgical lesions. We sought to determine the incidence of malignancy assess a possible role for imaging-guided biopsy this category masses.Three hundred ninety-seven biopsies were performed at our institution between 1991 2000. Between January 1997 August 2000, 28 Bosniak III lesions, based on established CT imaging criteria helical scans, identified analysis. The...
<h3>Importance</h3> Obesity, particularly visceral obesity and sarcopenia, are poor prognostic indicators in colon cancer. <h3>Objectives</h3> To explore the association between body composition profiles 5-year cancer outcomes delineate associated underlying inflammatory processes. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This multicenter translational cohort study included patients with nonmetastatic who did not have chronic disorders were receiving anti-inflammatory drugs referred to...
The prevalence of mental health disorders is high among people with Cystic Fibrosis. psychological symptoms in CF are associated poor adherence, worse treatment outcomes, and greater utilization/cost. Mental neurocognitive Adverse Events (AEs) have been reported all available Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) modulators small groups patients. We report our experience a dose reduction strategy 10 patients on elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (7.9% total number patients) who...
To assess the effectiveness of a computed tomographic (CT) image-guided transgluteal approach for percutaneous drainage deep pelvic abscesses as an alternative to surgical drainage.The medical records 140 patients who underwent CT-guided 154 were reviewed determine origins, location, and size abscesses; volume initial aspirate; organisms identified in fluid culture; duration catheter drainage; incidence catheter-related pain procedure-related complications; short- long-term outcomes. The...
Sunitinib is a standard first-line option for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Body composition prognostic factor in cancer patients and with loss of skeletal muscle mass fat-free (FFM) are prone to dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during targeted drug therapy. We investigated whether body by computed tomography predicted DLT from sunitinib mRCC.Patients clear mRCC receiving (50 mg) were included. Skeletal cross-sectional area at L3 was measured tomography. Sarcopenia defined using...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly utilised in medical imaging systems and processes, radiographers must embrace this advancement. This study aimed to investigate perceptions, knowledge, expectations towards integrating AI into amongst a sample of determine the current state education within community.A cross-sectional online quantitative targeting based Europe was conducted over ten weeks. Captured data included demographical information, participants' perceptions understanding...
The objective of our study was to review the classic direct and indirect angiographic signs acute chronic pulmonary embolism (PE) correlate these findings with MDCT.CT angiography have complementary roles in accurate diagnosis thromboembolic disease. Conventional should be used as a problem-solving technique after CT has been performed because is less invasive.
Purpose To develop low-dose thin-section computed tomographic (CT) protocols for assessment of cystic fibrosis (CF) in pediatric patients and determine the clinical usefulness thereof compared with chest radiography. Materials Methods After institutional review board approval informed consent from or guardians were obtained, 14 CF 11 without (16 male, nine female; mean age, 12.6 years ± 5.4 [standard deviation]; range, 3.5–25 years) who underwent imaging reasons CT. Sections 1 mm thick...
